A Las Vegas Food Hall Calls It Quits Just One Year After Opening

Nearly a year to the day after opening at Uncommons in southwest Las Vegas, the Sundry food hall will close for good this weekend. The Sundry had been an ambitious undertaking — leaning into Las Vegas’s food hall trend by populating a 20,000-square-foot food hall with more than a dozen bars and restaurants. In its first year, it saw a lot of turnover — scrapping some restaurants like Smitten and Mizunara as recently as one month ago, and swapping in others — bringing in Soulbelly just last March. The Sundry’s last day of business will be Saturday, June 22.

“The Sundry was created through a bold, imaginative vision to bring a cosmopolitan food hall to Las Vegas locals,” said Patric Yumul, the CEO of Table One Hospitality, in a statement provided to Eater Vegas. “Unfortunately, we will no longer be able to serve the community as we envisioned.”

The Sundry had been the first project from Table One Hospitality, the partnership between chef Michael Mina’s Mina Group, Yumul, and management company Highgate. It opened on June 12, 2023 with a roster that included Oakland chef Matt Horn’s fried chicken joint, Kowbird, California Italian-style BarZotto, Bar Oysterette, Santa Barbara-based Indian restaurant Dhaba Ji, Kávos Coastal Greek Grill by Las Vegas-based Meráki Greek Grill, Easy Slider, Happy Hoagie, and LA chef Ria Dolly Barbosa’s Petite Peso.

It had two full-service restaurants — B.S. Taqueria and Mizunara, the latter of which was confirmed closed only yesterday. And it initially opened with plans to eventually house locations of Saint Honoré and Proper Sandwich Company — neither of which remained open. In recent months, the two full-service restaurants were absorbed into the food hall so that customers could order from them via a QR code and online ordering system like the other restaurants inside. By March, when chef Bruce Kalman opened Soulbelly inside the food hall, the Sundry had already reduced the hall’s menu offerings substantially. However, the Sundry still offered a popular happy hour with $9 cocktails and an $8 cheeseburger.

At time of closing, the lineup in the food hall includes only: Center Bar, Messina, Easy Sliders, Mabel’s, Calle, and Deo.

Neither Uncommons nor Table One provided a reason for the food hall’s closure. Business couldn’t have been helped by the debut of the Durango Casino across the street shortly after opening — the behemoth property has eight bars and restaurants in addition to a food hall of its own. The food hall may also have been hindered by a complicated ordering system that led to much confusion around how to order, pay, and receive food from each kitchen.

The Sundry is the first Las Vegas food hall to call it quits — notable given that the food halls are a response to the dying art of the buffet. The Aria replaced its buffet with the Proper Eats food hall. Both the Durango and Fontainebleau opted to go with one instead of a buffet. And even the Rio just replaced its buffet with the Canteen.

There’s still a lot of activity booming around the Uncommons, however. It recently debuted the Todo Bien bar, the General Admission sports bar, the Wineaux wine lounge, and Italian sandwich sensation, All’Antico Vinaio. A spokesperson for Uncommons said that a new concept for the food hall space will be announced in the coming months. The buffet is out, the food hall didn’t stick, and it remains to be seen what Vegas is hungry for next.
